In short: As my first ever race and in preperation for the Norwich Half Marathon I was slightly apprehensive. But I need not have worried as the organisers were so supportive, the runners were all friendly and the marshalls (who incidentally stood out in lash
In full: ing rain totally soaked, for hours) were absolutely tremendous - giving us all cheers and encouragement.
On return, after the last gruesome hill, we were cheered home and given beer, hot soup, goody bags and BIG pats on the back
Thank you for making my first run so fab, I can safely say I am hooked !!!

In short: Smiles within a storm…
In full: …one minute before the race the start line was empty as everyone was taking shelter from the torrential rain, as the start was signalled several hundred runners emerged with beaming smiles ready to race in conditions that ducks were afraid of. A race to remember with fantastic support from all those that stood out in the rain whilst we ran as fast as we could to keep warm! Will certainly return next year - but will pack my swim goggles just in case!

In short: Excellent race and brilliantly organised.
In full: As a beginner I was aprehensive having only ever done one race previous at this distance. The weather tried its absolute hardest to put a spanner in the works, but despite this the race ran like clockwork, the course was excellently marshalled and free hot drinks at the finish.
I'll certainly be doing it again and now looking forward to the Norwich Half at the end of Nov!!
Well done BBDRC :-)
